Returning a Custom or Personalised Item | Patches R Us

CUSTOM ORDER • RETURN HELP

Need help with a custom item? Let's work out what happened.

Custom and personalised products are a little different from standard catalogue items because they’ve been made specifically for you.

THE QUICK ANSWER

Changed your mind? Custom-made products are different.

Products made to your specifications or clearly personalised for you are normally excluded from ordinary change-of-mind returns.

But that does not mean you lose your consumer rights if something is faulty, damaged, misdescribed or incorrectly made.

WHICH ONE SOUNDS LIKE YOUR ORDER?

The reason matters.

🤔

CHANGE OF MIND

I just don't want it anymore

If the product was made specifically to your requirements or personalised for you, it will normally not be eligible for a change-of-mind return.

✏️

CUSTOMER-SUPPLIED DETAILS

I gave the wrong details

If the item has been produced correctly using the measurements, wording, spelling or artwork you supplied and approved, we may not be able to accept a return.

Contact us anyway — depending on the project, we may be able to help with a remake or another practical solution.

SOMETHING'S WRONG

It's faulty or incorrectly made

That's different. If your custom product is faulty, damaged, misdescribed or doesn't match the agreed specification, please tell us straight away.

WHY WE SAMPLE FIRST

You see it before we make the full order.

For custom patch projects, our process includes an approval stage before full production.

We review your artwork, create a pre-production sample, and give you the opportunity to check details such as wording, colours, layout, stitching and overall appearance.

That approval stage helps us catch problems before hundreds of patches are produced.

01 Artwork reviewed 02 Sample created 03 You approve it 04 Full production begins

IMPORTANT

Custom doesn't mean “no rights”.

Personalised and bespoke goods may be excluded from ordinary change-of-mind returns, but your statutory rights still apply where goods are faulty, damaged, misdescribed or otherwise not supplied as agreed.

NEED US TO LOOK AT IT?

Send us the useful bits.

01 Your order number
02 What you think has gone wrong
03 Clear photos where helpful
04 Your approved sample/artwork if relevant

That usually gives us enough to understand the issue without making you explain the whole project from scratch.

QUICK ANSWERS

Custom order return FAQs

Can I return a personalised product because I've changed my mind?
Products made specifically to your requirements or clearly personalised for you are normally excluded from ordinary change-of-mind returns.
What if I supplied the wrong spelling or measurements?
If the product was manufactured correctly from information you supplied and approved, it may not be eligible for return. Contact us and we'll see whether there is another practical way we can help.
What if the finished item doesn't match my approved sample?
Please contact us with photographs and your order details. If the product hasn't been produced as agreed, we'll review the issue with you.
Can faulty custom products still be returned?
A custom or personalised item being excluded from a change-of-mind return does not remove your statutory rights where the product is faulty, damaged, misdescribed or not supplied as agreed.
